They screwed up when they let Dawn Aponte walk, she was the best thing going for working the cap and contracts. Tannebaum made some disastrous deals that we are now seeing how hard they are to get out from under.Well, in the past our team has managed to mess up our cap even thought the team was very low on real talent. They gave out very undeserving contracts to many players and this year they had to get rid of some of those. One way to keep your cap in check is to stop trying to make a splash in free agency every year. Build thru the draft and no trade picks away but rather try to get as many picks as possible. Use free agency to get the missing pieces but don't use free agency to actually build a foundation cause it'll never work.
